<span>Having more lung capacity is advantageous because the lungs can expand more. More air in the lungs will fill all the alveoli (air sacs in the lungs) and allow more oxygen to enter the bloodstream via the capillaries that surround the air sacs. Excess waste (such as carbon dioxide) is also transferred from the blood to the air to be exhaled. As lungs fill, more gas exchange can occur.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.
About 280 days or 40 weeks. A preterm or so called premature baby is delivered before 37 weeks of the mothers pregnancy.

What causes the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata of the brain to increase the rate of respirations?
Answer:
decreased amount of oxygen or increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood
Explanation:
The medulla oblongata and the pons are involved in the regulation of the ventilatory pattern of respiration.
The decrease in blood pH result from the decreased amount of oxygen, Hypoxemia refers to insufficient oxygen in the blood. Thus any cause that influences the rate or volume of air entering the lungs (ventilation) or any cause that influences the transfer of air from the lungs to the blood may cause hypoxemia.
In response to a decrease in blood pH, the respiratory center (in the medulla ) sends nervous impulses to the external intercostal muscles and the diaphragm, to increase the breathing rate and the volume of the lungs during inhalation.
Also, Let take a look at a situation of an individual suffering from an anxiety attack(i.e hyperventilating). The increased ventilation rate will remove too much carbon dioxide from their body, (this implies that there is increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood). Without that carbon dioxide, there will be less carbonic acid in blood, so the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases and the pH of the blood rises.
In response, the respiratory chemoreceptors detect this change, and send a signal to the medulla, which signals the respiratory muscles to decrease the ventilation rate so carbon dioxide levels and pH can return to normal levels.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
aquifers
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <u>Most liquid freshwater is found under the Earth's surface as groundwater or aquifers, while the rest is found in lakes, rivers, and streams, and water vapor in the sky. </u>
- About 68% of freshwater is found in glaciers and icecaps such as in Greenland, the poles, and other glaciers. Another 30% is found in groundwater, which basically means aquifers. Only 1% of freshwater is found in surface water such as lakes, rivers, etc.
